Extended Readers Poll Results: The Best Movies of 2007

This year Messrs. Coen, Coen, Anderson, and Fincher appear to have induced a total mind meld, with their films netting the same top slots in our Readers’ Poll as in last issue’s survey of critics. Beyond the big three, our readers voted in fuller force for the year’s comedies, from the bittersweet (#14) to the Apatovian (#19). Gone Baby Gone (#29) was rescued from rank(less) oblivion, and the neowestern quiddity of that Jesse James flick (#7) found ever more converts.

In the March/April issue, we printed the Top 30; here are the Top 50. The numbers in parentheses indicate the films’ rankings in our Critics’ Poll. Click here for this year’s selection of readers’ comments, rants, and raves.
